• Overall Rating

5

The One Touch UltraMini Diabetes Blood Glucose Monitoring System-Silver Moon is a Life Scan product.

Actually when I saw it for the first time I didn’t realize it was a glucose meter. It’s the first time I see such variety in colors and innovation in design and it has such a small size. I really couldn’t decide which color to pick; pink glow, silver moon, limelight or jet black. I finally picked the jet black one. That color makes it look like VIP accessory.

In the beginning I thought of getting this glucose meter as a back up one. Then I realized how perfect it is for any situation, especially for testing on the go. It’s a 3 step testing system with a result in just 5 seconds. I forgot about all those bells, whistles and complicated screens. I just had the number I want from the smallest meter. The screen is easy-to-read large screen with 2-way scrolling buttons.

When I first heard about the One Touch commitment, I didn’t realize they went this far. This glucose meter is among the cheapest in the market and the strips are covered by the lowest co-pay by more health plans than any other test strips.

In other words, I am saving on the cost of the meter and covered for the cost of the strips. One Touch IS making a world without limits for people with diabetes!
From the booklet that comes with the meter I learned that having diabetes doesn’t mean being deprived of the foods I like. It provides choices tips for making simple adjustments in foods. Thanks to these tips, I can eat everything I like and I don’t have to worry about my blood glucose.

This glucose meter is slightly better than other glucose meters available in the market. It gives the choice of alternate body parts for testing such as forearm or palm. As my doctor told me, those parts have fewer nerve endings and that’s what makes testing less painful.

Buying this glucose meter, I knew that I didn’t have to worry about anything; it’s a complete testing system which includes everything I need. I even got the carrying case included in the package.

The One Touch Ultra Mini Diabetes Blood Glucose Monitoring System-Silver Moon comes with the lancing device, clear cap for testing in forearm and palm and all the guides and booklets needed.
